Matias Fernandez is a player with excellent technique. He was ellected, in 2006, the best young player across South America.
He has only one more year to terminate his contract, as well as Rui Patrício, our GK.
I want that both stay and renew.
Actually, Matías Fernandez and Izmailov are the best Sporting players. We have young players with enormous talent like Carrillo(camed from Peru this season; has 20 years old and is a internacional Peru player), Jeffrén(camed from Barcelona but has many lesions; after 2 months with lesions scored 2 goals. :) ), Insúa(underrated player. Has enormous potencial and is the best left defender in Portugal), Wolfswinkel(Great Dutch school. Great potencial), Xandão(a good suprise. He is on loan and will stay certainly.), Capel(Camed from Sevilla and is our. Im sure that you know who is he.), Schaars(Has 27 years, and camed for less than a million. His a internacional Dutch player with 20 internacionals games.), Rinaudo(one of the best Sporting players like Matias and Izmailov but he broke his leg and he is recovering.), Rui Patríco(the best GK in Portugal and one of the best in Europe. Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Milan asked for him.), Onyewu(The Captain America. He is a monster. Is injured but is best central defender of the team).
We have another young players like Diego Rubio(18 years old and is a internacional Chilean player :O ), André Santos(22 years old and is a Portugal internacional player, camed from Sporting Academy-one of the best in the world. Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Simão, Quaresma, Rui Patricio... camed from Sporting Academy ), André Martins( Young talent player. Is the future Sporting "Matías Fernandez").
There are some players from our Academy with good potencial, like Bruma, Iuri Medeiros, Betinho, Ié and anothers.
On my opinion, at the present Izmailov and Matías are the best Sporting players. Carrillo(we love him) will be an future World star:
